Hey guys I have halogen headlights and wanted to replace the bulbs. I was thinking of going with Piaa, but is there other bulbs that people are happy with?

Piaa is good i think another company is gp thunder. but piaa is better i think.

Yeah Piaa is a lot more expensive and have heard they are superior to others. Just wanted to see if anyone found something comparable

I'm using PIAA 4000K in headlights and fogs they light up the road.

Eh...PIAA prices for not-anything-near-PIAA quality I've found unfortunately... :/

I have the H3 version of these bulbs http://www.highperformancebulbs.com/nost2cowhh7t.html in my E90 LCI's cornering lights, and I love the color it puts out on the road--a very pure white. And the coloring on the bulb is very "light" (well, it's technically a tint, rather than a coloring, but I digress) so it won't make the reflectors look bright blue.

I used PIAA on my old car and they were great!

Ohh haha Idk

Philips xtreme vision or the Osram Night Breaker plus are the way to go if you want more light and less show. I chose Philips Xtreme Vision after trying many other bulbs and believe me they are special. Don't expect white HID like light with them though.

If you want false HID, go with the other bulbs that people have mentioned here but then you loose out on the amount of light.

Or...Just do an OEM Halogen to OEM Xenon conversion

haha
